[SEDXC] Dx with 100 watts

[David Thompson]

I worked my first 312 DXCC entities on 17 and over 260 on 12 with 100 watts.
I use a W9PNE X beam on 12 and load the Cushcraft 40 meter beam on 17.
I found 6 or 7 years ago that this was not making it
so I tuned my Henry 2K for 17 and 12.  I get almost 799 watts.

With my Yaesu's down I find that the little Icom 740 and the TS-130 (thanks
to W4JO) just dont make it thru altho I did work the VU7 on 20 with 100
watts.
Plus I had a lot of fun uisng both transceivers in the ARRL DX SSB so just
wish I had worked a few more hours to get EU, AF, and more Caribbean
stations.

I had to put on the Henry to get 9X0R on 15 and I ran the 8877 to work them
on 80 and 40.  Today I called 9Q1TB on 28490 with 100 watts but got Phil
with one call using an amp.

So be eh!
